Subject: [WiX-users] WiX Burn - managing installed products after initial install This might also be titled "How do I launch the modification of a Burn install from the command line without the Burn executable?" or "What's the Burn equivalent of 'msiexec /X ProductCode'?" I have a program, A, which ships with two optional programs B and C. All have functioning MSI installers. I use Burn to manage the installation of A, B and C. On first install, the user is asked if they want to install B and C. All works fine. But subsequently, the user should be able to install or uninstall B and C. The user can of course do this from Programs and Features, using Modify. This relaunches my Burn executable. However, I want the user to be able to trigger this functionality from within Program A - that is, I don't want the user to have to launch Programs and Features, find the bundle, and click Modify. I want to have a button in Program A that will do it, launching Burn. But how? If it was a single MSI, I could shell "msiexec /I {ProductCode}". I know the ProductCode because that's a property of the MSI. So I can save and use it as required. But a Burn bundle doesn't have a ProduceCode. It has RelatedBundle, but there's no msiexec argument for that. If I check for the bundle in the registry, I find the information I need in an entry in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall, which is perfect. There's the line I need to launch Modify, it calls the cached bundle executable in "ProgramData\Package Cache". But how do I get that line? How do I launch the Burn package manager for my package from within a program of my package? -- Alasdair King ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ HPCC Systems Open Source Big Data Platform from LexisNexis Risk Solutions Find What Matters Most in Your Big Data with HPCC Systems Open Source.
